Hi, All!

How to do a focusable CLabel? I don`t want to copy/paste CLabel code with
commented line in "checkStyle" method (style |= SWT.NO_FOCUS).

CLabel does not take focus because it does not do anything interesting with
focus - you can not select the text or position the caret etc.

Why do you want it to take focus?

I have a complex composite with CLabel and Button(SWT.ARROW). For example,
combo box with images. When I click on CLabel it has no focus. I want to
catch events FocusIn and FocusOut.

Is this decision correct?

label = new CLabel(this, labelStyle) {
public boolean setFocus() {
checkWidget();
return forceFocus();
} //setFocus
};

Seems bad. If you want to forceFocus(), how about doing it in SWT.MouseDown?

Note that the CLabel will not draw any differently when it has focus and the
user will not know where focus has gone.
Further, it will not participate in the keyboard tab traversal and as
mentioned before will not support selection.

You would be better off with a Label (that draws the image), a read-only
text widget and a Button(SWT.ARROW).
